MANTEL FOR STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 407,003, dated July 16,1889.

Application filed May 1, 1888. Serial No. 272,530. (No model.)

1'0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, OTTO P. ELTERIOH and G. OTTO ELTERICH, of Newark,in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have in vented certainnew and useful Improvements in Mantels for Stoves, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved mantel for heating and otherstoves, by means of which the mantel of a stove can be constructed of anumber of tiles or glass plates, which together form a strong andsubstantial wall without any intermediate joints for the individualtiles or plates; and the invention c011- sists of a mantel for stovescomposed of a number of individual tiles or glass plates, which areprovided at the back with a dovetailed dowel and supported by a layer ofsuitable cement on a frame consisting of intersecting wires or rods,said rods and dowels be ing embedded into the layer of cement, so as tosupport the tiles or plates in position, as will be fully describedhereinafter, and finally pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation ofour improved mantel for heating-stoves Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of thesame, drawn on a larger scale; and Figs. 3 and at are respectively avertical transverse section and a rear view of a single tile or plate,drawn on a still larger scale.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, A represents the supporting-frame of our improvedmantel-tile for heating and other stoves. This frame is made accordingto the size and shape of the side wall of the mantel and composed of anouter frame of castor wrought iron bars a and of intersecting wires orrods b, which form a stiff grating.

To the frame A is applied a number of clay tiles or glass plates B, eachof which is provided at its back wit-h a dovetailed central dowel d,which, together with the rods 01' wires, are embedded into a layer 0, ofa suitable cement, of a thickness equal to the thickness of thedovetailed dowels (Z, as shown in Fig.

3. This layer of cement 0 supports the tiles or glass plates 13 firmlyin position on the frame A, and furnishes thereby a mantel wall or tileof nicely-jointed tiles or plates, without requiring the cementing ofthe individual tiles or plates at their joints, whereby not only a muchbetter appearance but also a stronger and more durable mantel Wall ortile for heating-stoves is obtained. The mantel-tiles that form the sidewalls of the stove are connected by suitable angle-irons at the corners,so that a very ornamental mantel is obtained, which is used in place ofthe cast-iron or sheet-metal stove-bodies heretofore in use.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent 1. A mantel for stoves, consisting of ametallic supporting frame or grating, tiles or glass plates providedwith dovetailed dowels at the back and arranged in front of saidsupporting-frame, and a layer of cement that 7c unites the dowels at theback of the tiles with the supporting frame or grating, substantially asset forth.

2. A mantel for stoves, consisting of a metallic supporting frame orgrating, a number 7 5 of tiles or glass plates, each provided with adovetailed dowel at the back, said dowels being located at the front ofthe supportingframe, and with dowels projecting into the spaces formedbetween the strips of the grat- 8o ing, and a layer of refractory cementembedding the grating and dowels at the rear of the tiles for unitingthe frames and tiles, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention we have signedour names in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

OTTO P. ELTERIOH. G. OTTO ELTERIOH.
